Loxo costs from $149 per user and month on the Core plan; Professional, which adds Loxo's talent graph and AI agents, has no public price and needs a demo. Both are billed annually and paid upfront, as Loxo's own pricing page states (read 30 October 2026). A team of five on Core therefore pays at least $8,940 a year before credits, add-ons or the Professional upgrade.
What the Loxo plans cost (October 2026)
Loxo lists three plans, all per user. Unlike earlier versions of its page, a Professional price is no longer shown, and the self-serve trial now exists: Loxo offers a free 7-day trial with full Professional access and no credit card.
| Plan | Price (annual, prepaid) | What the vendor lists |
|---|---|---|
| Core | from $149 per user/month | ATS + recruiting CRM, natural-language AI search, unlimited jobs, candidates and companies, email + calendar sync, Chrome extension, MCP; free migration for teams of 3+ seats |
| Professional | not published, demo required | Everything in Core, plus Loxo Source (850M+ profile talent graph), the agent workforce, Loxo AI Chat, contact information with shortlists, API access, 2,500 credits per seat and month, pooled |
| Boost 2× / 5× | not published | 5,000 / 12,500 credits per user and month for Professional seats that need more |
| Enterprise | custom | Everything in Professional, plus SSO/SAML, advanced governance, dedicated success team |
Prices come from Loxo's pricing page as read on 30 October 2026; we do not link vendor pages. Many comparison articles still quote a $169 starter tier or a $199 Professional price. Both are outdated or unconfirmed on the current page, so check the vendor before you budget.
Loxo pricing example: team of 3, 5, 10 and 15
List-price arithmetic for seat licences only (12 months, before tax). Dollar amounts are converted at 1 $ = 0.92 €, an assumption you should replace with the rate on your invoice date. Loxo Core and Sprad Recruiter Lite are not the same scope: Core is an ATS and CRM with AI search over your own database, while external profile search (Loxo Source) sits in Professional. The Loxo Professional price is unknown, so every Loxo figure below is a floor.
| Team size | Loxo Core, per year | Sprad Recruiter Lite, per year | Atlas Recruiter, per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 recruiters | $5,364 (≈ €4,935) | €2,844 | €10,764 |
| 5 recruiters | $8,940 (≈ €8,225) | €4,740 | €17,940 |
| 10 recruiters | $17,880 (≈ €16,450) | €9,480 | €35,880 |
| 15 recruiters | $26,820 (≈ €24,675) | €14,220 | €53,820 |
Two honest readings. First, Sprad Recruiter Lite (79 €) is cheaper than Loxo Core per seat and includes external search in the Quick and Normal levels, 500 profiles and 50 pool searches a month. Second, Atlas Recruiter at 299 € is more expensive than Loxo Core per seat; it is for people who source every day and includes unlimited search under fair use, deep search, multiple clients and the first LinkedIn and inbox account. Compare it with Loxo Professional, not Core, once you have that quote.
Hidden costs and add-ons to ask about
- Annual prepayment. The full year is due upfront. Seats you do not use in a quiet quarter are still paid.
- Credits. Professional includes 2,500 credits per seat and month, pooled. Boost 2× and 5× are not priced publicly, so ask for them in writing. Credits cover agent work and contact information, and the page does not list a price per credit.
- Price increases. Reviewers report automatic yearly increases of around 5 % in their contracts (reported by users, not stated on Loxo's page). Ask for a price cap in the renewal clause.
- Migration. Free for Core teams of three or more seats; Professional and Enterprise migrations are scoped as fixed packages before signing.
- Currency. Prices are in US dollars; a EU invoice moves with the exchange rate and may add VAT or reverse charge.
In Sprad, credits work the other way round. The whole company shares them, the free plan includes 100 a month (200 in the first month), and seats are separate. A deep web search has a budget of 300 credits for up to 150 qualified profiles (2 credits per profile shown); finding an email costs 1 credit, a phone number 10. At list price (0.10 € per credit), one deep search costs about 30 €, and a seat that runs four deep searches and 25 email lookups a month adds roughly 125 €.
Is Loxo worth it?
It is a fair price if your desk lives in the ATS and CRM every day, you need the talent graph and agents, and every user searches often enough to use a prepaid seat. It is expensive if only part of the team sources, if you cannot get a Professional quote before the renewal date, or if you work mainly in German-speaking markets: the interface and published pricing are English only, and the vendor is US-based. For personal data of candidates in the EU, check the data processing agreement under GDPR Article 28, the transfer basis (for example the EU-US Data Privacy Framework) and the information duty in Article 14. AI-based candidate selection is a high-risk use under Annex III of the EU AI Act; the high-risk obligations apply from 2 December 2027 (Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, as of October 2026).

A cheaper way to source: Sprad
Atlas checks every profile against your requirements instead of matching keywords (a requirement search across more than 1B profiles on LinkedIn, XING and GitHub, plus your own talent pool). Outreach runs over LinkedIn, including InMail, and email in one inbox, and the system warns when someone was already contacted. If results appear instantly, it is almost always a semantic keyword search; genuine AI checks each profile, so Quick Search returns first results in about 3 seconds and the deep search takes a few minutes. Your data stays yours after cancellation, with a full raw-data export.
In the open PeopleSearchBench (Recruiting), Atlas comes to 73.5 out of 100 in our own re-measurement, converted to the published scale (Juicebox 65.7 as published). The benchmark was published by Lessie in October 2026; other systems' scores are as published, and Atlas is our own re-measurement with the benchmark's open test procedure, converted to the published scale; not an official entry. Sprad has been building recruiting software for seven years. Teams that replace separate LinkedIn and XING recruiter licences report 30–80 % lower cost; the numbers are on sprad.io/industry/recruitment-agencies.
